The liberal prevailed in a technically nonpartisan Wisconsin State Supreme Court race that took on national importance. Voter turnout is an indication that Americans remain deeply engaged in the electoral process.

A liberal judge won big in Wisconsin's April 1 Supreme Court election while the GOP held two Florida House seats. Both parties are spinning the results ahead of the 2026 midterm cycle.

The lawsuit from 19 Democratic attorneys general calls Trump's executive order an "unconstitutional attempt to seize control of elections."

Three spring elections have provided early warning signs to Republicans and President Donald Trump. The conservative Wisconsin judge endorsed by Trump and backed by Elon Musk and his groups to the tune of $21 million lost by a significant margin in a state Trump won in November.

Here are the takeaways from a liberal's victory in Wisconsin and GOP wins in Florida races to succeed Mike Waltz and Matt Gaetz in Tuesday's elections.

In the state election, Judge Susan Crawford secured a whopping 55 percent of the vote, while the Musk-backed Judge Brad Schimel captured only 45 percent. While the position is nonpartisan, this election still determined the court’s ideological lean. Crawford was backed by Democrats, while Schimel was backed by Republicans.

Voters in a crucial court race and two House special elections will provide hints of how the country views President Trump and Elon Musk, months after they took power.

Election results in Wisconsin and Florida suggest the political landscape has shifted since Trump and Republicans won big last fall.

Republicans expanded their narrow House majority Tuesday with closer-than-expected wins in special elections in two ruby-red Florida congressional districts.
